well that sounds rather tasty Belle!

it also sounds like something i could make up ahead of time (or even freeze for that matter) for the nights when i work late. do you think i could mix up the meat, fry it, put it in the fridge and then have DH bake it in the sauce the next day?

or, what if i fried them, froze them and then put them in the crockpot with the sauce in the morning while still frozen?

i'm really excited about this recipe!! (can you tell?)

thanks Belle!!!

Ooohh! This sounds yummy! Bet the sugar and vinegar kick the flavor complexity up several notches.

Can't wait to try this--thanks, Belle!

I think either one would work. Now you've given ME some ideas! This would make a good make-ahead dish.
